Sequencing Primers

We have designed a range of forward and reverse sequencing primers that allow you to sequence any insert that you make into a particular position within any of our SnapFast™ expression vectors. Other vectors will require that you design your own primers. Where possible, the binding sites for each of these primers is conserved. Each primer has been designed to the following parameters:

GC content: 50-55 %
Melting point (TM): 55-60 °C
Base Pairs (BP): 18-22 nucleotides
Primer dimer: No
2^ndry structure: None-Weak

Please click on the relevant restriction site to find primers that flank that region for sequencing:
